Now does A2 have control while in the air and throwing a one handed no look heave?
resulting in backcourt or is it play-on?
If the ball came to rest in A2's hand before he threw it, then he had control. He would be considered holding a live ball inbounds. If it was a slap or bat, then no. It doesn't matter if he was looking or not.
